The State Closed Championship sponsored by MECA is set for the weekend. It will be in the Bangor Room in the Memorial Union on the University of Maine campus in Orono. The details listed on the Chessmaine.net events page are correct and the prize fund is guaranteed. MECA membership will be offered at the event. Players are encouraged to become members or renew to support Maine chess.
At our meeting yesterday we set a date for our annual meeting: Sunday, October 24 in Waterville, time and location to be announced. An agenda will be presented along with the final details by the end of September on chessmaine.net.
Despite a slow start to MECA's new board, we are excited with what lies ahead. We expect a good turnout this weekend and are looking forward to the Border Battle with New Hampshire in September. Top items expected to be resolved at the Annual Meeting include a revamped Player of the year competition for 2011, a set budget, fundraising proposals, and team and class championships.
I hope to see many of you in Orono on Saturday. Feel free to share any ideas or thoughts. Safe travel to all.
